Mago: La impresionante vida y obra de Orson Welles

Is it too on-the-nose to point out that this documentary is directed by someone named "Workman"?

Perhaps.

This is an absolutely fine documentary that does two things very well:

1. It covers his entire life.

2. It grapples with all of his work on a fairly equal footing, not portraying him as a "once great man".

(I lie ... it does a third thing well. It portrays Welles as a person who must have been one hell of a great person to hang around with.)

Because it covers so much ground in a taught 90 minutes, it doesn't cover much of anything in any depth. It's best for folks with at least some significant Welles gaps that require filling.
